YOUNG PEOPLE'S MANNERS. Parental Neglect of the Gracious Art of Good Breleding. In some homes the belief in the ability oL ;cjithto guide itself aright is carried to the extent of forbearing to teach the very rudi ments of good manners. It is assumed that contact with their fellows and the selledW cation resulting from social attrition wi'l turn the young people out at length as fj ted ladies and gentlemen. Meanwhile they are allowed to be as objectionable .4 it pleases them to be, and no one lifts hand. or voice in warning, in correction, in teach ing. The boys slouch into the room, their grubby hands. in- their pockets, their cape ii"hieilr imkempt heads. Perhaps they. whistle; perhaps they shout, two or three in chorus. They are not checked, not taught better manners, nbt interfeied with in any way:? The glii~s, maybe at the awkiard age when it is diffcult to make them well bred with :the greatest'paine one can take, come riaipipg in with their b'bthers, giving the impression of ...

But the ex perience of advertisers who have made the subject a study is that persistent advertis ing is the' best and returns more profit con sidering the outlay than advertising by fits and starts. It keeps one always before the pub~lic in a sense, and the power of a daily or weekly repetition of an advertisement is inestimable. "A French writer says that the first time a person sees an advertise ment he-hardly notices it; the second time, he remembers he has seen it before; the third time, he reads it; the fourth time he wonders if it meets: his wants; and the fifth time, he buys the article. This, at least, is human nature. A single insertion of- an advertisement seldom produces much impression,-butlet' that advertisemenit be repeated for a month or six months, and satisfactory results generally will follow. People remember that they have seen it' before, and gradually the...
